ACTION PACKED NEWS: Wolves work to get Anthony Edwards going

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a rough start to the NBA season, and much of the pressure has been on rookie Anthony Edwards. The 19-year-old guard was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and has been touted as one of the top prospects in his class. However, the young player has yet to find his footing on the court and has struggled to make an impact for the struggling Wolves. In a recent episode of NBA Today, the experts discussed what the Wolves need to do to get Edwards going and unlock his potential.

Hitting the ground running in the NBA can be tough for any rookie, and this has been particularly true for Edwards. Despite his natural talent and athleticism, he has averaged just 11.1 points per game with a shooting percentage of 32.8%. However, Malika Andrews, Zach Lowe, Kendrick Perkins, and Chiney Ogwumike believe that the solution is simple: the Wolves need to give Edwards more opportunities.

The group suggests that Edwards needs to have the ball in his hands more, especially in transition. Comparing him to past NBA stars like Russell Westbrook and Ja Morant, who both made their names by being aggressive and attacking the rim, the experts believe that Edwards needs to show off his own explosiveness and athleticism on the court. By giving him the proper amount of touches and playmaking opportunities, the Wolves can help Edwards find his confidence and get going offensively. With time, he can develop into the star player that he was destined to be since entering the league.

If the Wolves take this advice and work on getting Edwards more involved, we may see a major change in the team’s performance.
